Broadsword has announced that the beta testing phase for Ultima Online: New Legacy is set to commence soon. Interested players can now sign up for consideration. This new iteration of Ultima Online aims to return the game to its fundamental RPG roots, emphasizing the importance of player decisions and character progression through the innovative Legacy system.
Ultima Online, which has been operational since 1997, has undergone numerous changes and updates over the years. The introduction of Ultima Online: New Legacy addresses the community's demand for a classic server experience while incorporating new elements designed to enhance the RPG aspects of the game. The new server will use the original map of Britannia and feature a customized rule set to provide a core RPG experience.
Broadsword has reworked several core gameplay mechanics to align with their goal of focusing on RPG elements. This includes updates to the game world, skill and gear progression, and resource management. Players interested in participating in the beta testing phase can fill out a survey provided by the development team to be considered. More details and the application survey are available on the official Ultima Online website.
